How Safe Are the Herbal Supplements?

Just because it says "herbal" doesn't mean it's safe:
In a recent study, 66 percent of participating parents said they thought supplements did not interact with other medications... Many companies selling the products have bypasssed parents altogether and are marketing them to teens directly. "The model of tobacco companies is what many companies are following," said Dr. Jordan Metzl of the Hospital for Special Surgery in New York. "I think it is really frightening"... But doctors point out kidney failure and other complications have already been linked to body-bulking supplements.

Also, lots of herbs mess with hormonal birth control!!! Yikes. Careful, Careful!!!
